Refresh of the movies take a lot of time to complete around say 4 -5 mins to refresh 2000 movies that to using the single thread when multiple thread options is enabled in the settings. Is there anything i am missing to set.
Multi-thread is a bit misleading. If this is enabled, and you have two or more Root Movie Folders, then each root movie folder is scanned in its own thread.
But, if there is only one root movie folder, then multi-thread only runs one thread. Or, acts the same as if multi-thread option is unselected.
From your screenshot, the biggest hog to speed is the folder size function. Unless you really, really need this function, disable it on Movie Preferences -> General tab, un-tick Get FolderSize for Movies
Another tip for speed is. Disable any filter you do not use or need.
If a filter is disables, its formula is not run, speeding up Media Companion.
EDIT:
Just noticed on your screenshot, scanning folders 2 of 9.
If you have 2000 movies and only 9 folders, then you have many movies in a folder. If this is right, then please, disable GetFolderSize, as it will give a false indication for each movie in the same folder.
